Cloud Infrastructure Entitlement Management

We can help you build a strategy for managing identities in the cloud, then put technical controls and monitoring in place so you lower risk and increase visibility

Understand CIEM and the realities of your environment - then build a strategy to monitor and secure it

Because identities, policies, and access rights stored in the cloud provides unique challenges, making it important to have a solid strategy to manage and administer them. That strategy should include the right CIEM tools to look at deep patterns of entitlements, inherited rights, and specific entitlements to find patterns of authorizations for users that cannot be discovered simply by human monitoring.

  • Remove excessive privileges: Following least privilege best practice, ensure that identities in the cloud are given what they need for their work, and nothing more.
  • Detect complex access pattern: Scan the environment for patterns of entitlements that could lead to unnecessary exposure and risk.
  • Remediate immediately upon discovery of risk: Implementing the tools to remediate risky or policy-breaking access within the tool.
  • Integrate with other Identity platforms: Weave CIEM into the overall IAM strategy and show how it can integrate with other IAM solutions to provide even more robust capabilities.
 

Xalient can help guide you as you implement CIEM – including vendor selection, building a strategy and blueprint that fits your organization’s unique needs, and implementing the program.

Monitor and Secure All Identities in the Cloud while Enforcing Least Privilege

The way Identity is represented and managed in the cloud is fundamentally different than the traditional on-premise environments such as Active Directory. Because entitlements can be stored within the code, this can make it difficult to understand what rights an identity inherits by looking at the core IAM management. 

An effective CIEM program helps you ensure that even these complex patterns are scanned for risk, and remediated when gaps are found.

Quickly Address Security Issues

Capable Cloud Infrastructure Entitlement Management platforms have the ability to  remediate risk and access that may break policy.  That can include providing custom shell commands that make the change in the cloud environment directly. 

The ability to not only find problematic access, but also remediate it quickly and eliminate the associated risk, is one of the reasons why CIEM has become such an important part of IAM programs.

Include CIEM in your Identity Fabric

After years of having siloed solutions that manage parts of their IAM program, organizations are now building an “Identity Fabric.” The reality is that, for many companies, the current and future Identity Security risks they face will require multiple IAM tools working in concert with each other.

Xalient can make CIEM part of your Identity Fabric, where all IAM systems (including IGA, PAM, CIAM, and Access Management) are deeply integrated, creating an IAM program that’s able to address your cyber security demand.
